Adagio's Golden Spring

Hello again. Did you miss me?

Golden Spring is one of the four new hong cha that Adagio added a few months back. They were all quite good, particularly for the price. I very much enjoyed the Yunnan Noir in particular, but I drank it all. A proper review on that one will have to wait till I get some more.

The Golden Spring has a typical aroma. The dry leaves smell of honey and grain, while notes of its Fujian heritage come out in the medium brown liquor with a subtle golden hue.

It has a smooth and mellow flavor with a lingering sweetness that develops as the tea cools. A fine example of hong cha at a good price.

I very much love this pot. It is by far my favorite. I have had it for years now I have yet to tire looking at it. Its so simple and eligant. While most end up deleted, when every I use it to review a tea, I spend half the time snapping pictures of it.

Cool, I also have that teapot as well as one of Hokujos side handled teapots. Wouldnt part with them for anything. But I do stick to using them for Sencha or Houjicha only. I also have a boxed set of 5 Yunomi and saucers, that one really hurt $240.00 ouch!

Olè! You're back!I like the deep yellow hue of tips...almost overwhelming on darker leaves.I've been used to stronger dian hong cha, notes of chestnut and undergrowth plants, but now I'm curious about this one. What can you tell me about the "meaty" aftertaste mentioned in Adagio's tea description? Did you find it in tea tasting and was it a pleasant note?Sara

Good to read your posts again. I love the golden tips of Yunnan. From the photo this tea appears to be relatively low quality Yunnan though. I'd recommend trying a Yunnan with more golden tips this bring out more of the honey notes you were talking about.

Polo shirts for men always fit the occasion if there is any doubt about what a man should wear.[url=http://www.polo-shirts-outlet.com/]cheap polo[/url] Sometimes an invitation is not very specific about the venue; or it's a place you are not familiar with so you don't know what the dress code for the venue is likely to be.

Welcome to Another Tea Blog

Ok, I fought it and fought it, but the blog is officialy dead. It saddens me, as tea has given me much pleasure, as has this blog. Unfortunately for now my interests and hobbies have moved on to other things.

Even without updates, many people still find their way to this blog. It is my hope that it will still be a source of information to some. I have dissabled the comment moderation. If you wish to leave a comment, feel free, but I will most likely not respond.

Hopefully this is temporary. Hopefully tea will once agian be the source of pleasure that it was to me. And in the mean time, hopefully it will continue to be a source of pleasure for you.
